From VSS ver 6.0 to TFS2010

Question

I have VSS ver 6.0 and we just purchased TFS 2010. I have 2010 installed on a Win2008R2x64 ent. server. The VSSconverter that comes with 2010 says I need VSS 2005 to convert from VSS to TFS. Can't Download???

I also have multiple projects in VSS 6.0 that I can't seem to get into TFS2010. How do I move existing projects into TFS2010????

Thanks for any response.

Hi Jim,

VSS 2005 is included in VS 2005. Here is a thread talking about how to get VSS 2005:

Hi,

 

For VSS 6 projects, please first upgrade to VSS 2005 and then run VSSConverter tool to upgrade to TFS 2010 because VSSConverter requires VSS 2005 or later to run.

Here is a link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253060.aspx for you to learn more how to migrate VSS to TFS.
